Animals Right to Life

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

The animals of the world exist for their own reasons.  They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men. 

-Alice Walker

Man Kills for Sport

Wild animals never kill for sport.  Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow-creatures is amusing in itself.

Deer Head on Wall

I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls.  They always say because it’s such a beautiful animal.  There you go.  I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.

Logical Reasoning

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Respect for Animals

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Animals give me more pleasure through the viewfinder of a camera than they ever did in the crosshairs of a gunsight.  And after I’ve finished “shooting,” my unharmed victims are still around for others to enjoy.  I have developed a deep respect for animals.  I consider them fellow living creatures with certain rights that should not be violated any more than those of humans.

Animals Don’t Vote

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering?  Because government is not.  Why not?  Animals don’t vote.
